Amorim starts with Manchester United: Can he create the turn?

Amorim takes over the rudder at Manchester United! On Sunday, the new coach Ruben Amorim will make his debut on the sidelines when the Red Devils compete for an exciting duel against Ipswich Town. The game takes place at 4:30 p.m. (3:30 p.m. GMT) on the Portman Road, Ipswich, united Kingdom. Fans can look forward to comprehensive reporting and live comments at Al Jazera Sport.

The 39-year-old Amorim, who has replaced Erik Ten Hag, has been the sixth coach since the last Premier League title win in 2013. Despite the challenge associated with this position, he exudes confidence: "I believe in myself. I believe in the club. We have the same way of thinking," he announced at his first press conference. Amorim, known for his charismatic style, has only completed two training sessions with the team, but he promises that fans will see a noticeable change. "They are the little things we have to improve," he emphasized.

The expectations of Amorim are high, because Manchester United is currently in the 13th place of the Premier League. Despite the intensive media attention and the history of failed coaches in the past, he remains optimistic: "Naive me, but I think I'm the right one for this moment." Amorim, who led Sporting Lisbon to two championships, is aware that he has to step into the footsteps of great coaches, but he emphasizes that he is a different type than José Mourinho, who once steered the club's fortunes.

In the meantime, Ipswich Town has to struggle with injuries. Kalvin Phillips is questionable, while George Hirst fails after a knee injury. On the other hand, Lisandro Martinez could also not play at United after he has withdrawn from international duty with back problems. Despite these challenges, the Red Devils have won four victories in the last five encounters with IPSWich and only collected one goal. The fans can look forward to a gripping match!
